Hands down best spine surgeon in the valley. Was a Steadman person and am beyond impressed by Dr Braxton at VSON. He has the skill and experience to handle even the most complex cases. (Before on the right, after on the left). Highly recommend.

Eva, thank you for the opportunity to care for you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dr. Braxton is so personable and answers all your questions about anything. I never feel hurried in my appointments. He’s very confident and the best doctor I’ve ever been to. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially if you’re in doubt of a much needed operation. He tries to do the most minimally invasive technique to help you and get you back doing what you love.

Thank you for the great review!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dr Braxton is amazing. He performed a synthetic disk replacement and I haven’t felt this good in years. He’s also just a great guy who makes you feel very comfortable and is great at explaining concepts.

Thanks Dr Braxton!
